Acharya Prashant explains that individuals often become habituated to suffering through long-term practice, to the point where they no longer recognize it as pain. He argues that what people typically define as 'suffering' are merely the superficial symptoms or consequences of a deeper, foundational misery that they have integrated into their identity and lifestyle. Using the analogy of obesity and diabetes, he notes that a person may accept their obesity as a normal state of being and only complain when the resulting diabetes manifests. This habituation makes the root cause of suffering feel like nourishment or a necessary part of life, leading to a false sense of well-being while living an incorrect life.
